Managing People at Work

Need a total of 14 references. Harvard style , also citing in-text references. Do not write the essay about workplace surveillance instead write how Workplace surveillance influences workplace culture OR ANY OTHER TOPIC LISTEN BELOW.

Details
Essay question: Discuss the ways in which workplace surveillance influences managing people at work in
contemporary organisations.

Research As a starting point, a few recent articles on the topic include:
Ball, K. (2010) ?Workplace surveillance: an overview?, Labor History, 51:1, 87-106.
O?Rourke, A.; Teicher, J. & Pyman, A. (2011) ?Internet and Email Monitoring in the
Workplace: Time for an Alternate Approach?, Journal of Industrial Relations, 53:4, 522-
533.
Richards, J. (2012) ?What has the internet ever done for employees? A review, map and
research agenda?, Employee Relations, 34:1, 22-43.

However, to answer this question, you do not have to limit your research to articles
specifically on workplace surveillance. Academic textbooks can help with definitions and
many of the issues in managing people at work are found in a range of areas, including:
 Human Resource Development
 Human Resource Management
 Industrial Relations
 Organisational Behaviour
 Psychology
 Sociology
 Workplace Culture
It will be crucial for this assignment that you start researching the topic well before the
deadline.
It will take time to understand the key issues and to create a sustained and coherent
argument throughout the essay.
You will not be able to analyse every possible issue, so you will need to select only a few
significant issues for your discussion ? this is the nature of critical analysis.
Hint: relevant issues include ? performance management, employee privacy, information
technology
Guidelines for
the essay
The assignment should be no more than 1500 words.
All papers must cite at least six academic sources.
You must distinguish clearly between your own words and analysis and those of your
sources. You must do this by providing appropriate citations, preferably using the
Harvard method.
Failure to provide appropriate citations is plagiarism. See UWS academic misconduct
policy. Your list of references should include only material cited in the paper.
This is an individual assessment task ? if a submitted essay is assessed as not being the
